It's taken a toll, what are farmers doing about drought now?

Dear Valued Subscriber, 

Welcome to Don't Miss Reads, our weekly newsletter highlighting some of our editors' favorite stories, photos and videos that you might have missed.  

I'm Don Mecoy, managing editor of The Oklahoman and Oklahoman.com. This week, I'd encourage you to read Ben Felder's story on how Oklahoma's farmers and ranchers are struggling to deal with drought. Oklahoma has had worse droughts than the current one, but droughts are becoming more frequent, and the men and women who provide our food are struggling. Late last week, the state Legislature allocated some funding to help.

In talking to Ben, I know this is a topic we will be writing about more in the future.

Below are links to more of our editors' favorite stories of the week. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
